Donna Chambers

Realtor®, CRS, SRES

I have been a resident of the Bay Area since 1960, and the Peninsula since 1987. I earned a B. A. Degree from San Jose State University, and my Real Estate career began in 1978 in San Jose, California, and continued until I took time off to raise my 2 sons. I returned to a full-time Real Estate practice, on the Peninsula, after working through numerous changes in the marketplace, being well-prepared to deal with the challenges facing home sellers and buyers in this constantly-changing environment. I am your relocation resource for the Peninsula, where each distinctive community offers unique property ownership. Please take a few minutes to acquaint yourself with the diverse opportunities available within the Bay Area, by visiting them on my website. I'm confident one of our communities will stimulate your imagination; then I will help make your dreams a reality. I have earned the CRS, Certified Residential Specialist designation, which requires a Realtor to complete a rigorous course of advanced training and to meet significant experience requirements. Only 4% of all Realtors in the US have earned this elite designation. All of this helps enable me to make your home buying or selling experience an unqualified success. As an SRES, Seniors Real Estate Specialist, I have had the training and experience which qualify me to assist the mature population in making wise decisions about selling the family home, buying rental property, managing the capital gains and state tax implications of owning real estate, obtaining a reverse mortgage, moving to a senior community and other issues.

My Sold Listings

“Donna recently represented my organization, Mission Hospice of San Mateo, in the sale of a house. In every aspect of the sales process, Donna was outstanding. Her intimate knowledge of the neighborhood enabled her to suggest listing the house at a price much higher than we thought possible because of the poor condition of the house. Donna saw the potential. Her knowledge of painters, landscapers, and a variety of maintenance people transformed the house into a highly desirable place to live – all accomplished at a very low cost. Throughout the closing process, Donna displayed exemplary knowledge, organization and punctuality for the necessary formalities.
Donna was very personable and exceptionally easy to work with, and I would highly recommend her without hesitation or qualification.

“My husband and I recently purchased a home in Menlo Park, with Donna Chambers representing us. Donna was very professional, organized and easy to work with. She was always readily available to take care of all of the details of the transaction. Often times she went beyond her responsibilities to make the experience a smooth and pleasant one for us. I highly recommend Donna to anyone looking for a great Realtor.

“I highly recommend Donna Chambers, if you want someone who is very knowledgeable in real estate sales and marketing techniques, professional, ethical, detail-oriented, and a good communicator, who follows through, and is pleasant and enjoyable to work with. Throughout the entire process, from preparing the house to put on the market, through completing the sale, Donna was very patient and thorough in answering our questions and answering questions we didn’t know to ask, and in explaining the reasoning behind the various requirements and her recommendations. She kept in frequent contact in person and via email and phone to keep me current about the status of tasks on the timeline she’d prepared, interest in the house and prospective buyers, along with many other issues along the way. I attribute the successful sale in a very short time, in this economy, to Donna’s extensive knowledge of the market and her many recommendations that made the house appealing to buyers.

“When we had to sell our family home of 45 years, we were fortunate to work with Donna Chambers. With her help and guidance, we were able to sell our house in a very short period of time, for an amount above what we were asking, and well over our expectations, with the market being what it is today. Donna is an expert in her market area and helped us prepare the house and price it to attract the largest pool of buyers. Her professionalism and experience were very much appreciated by my family during the entire process, and we thank her for all she has done.

“Donna represented me in the recent sale of my home in San Mateo. I credit her professionalism and extra attention to detail during the listing process and a major ground-up remodel of my residence, with a smooth, stress-free home-selling process. Donna is savvy, personable, connected, very knowledgeable of internet marketing and knows the real estate market inside and out. To reiterate, I am nothing but pleased with Donna, her expertise and her contacts, for the quick and competent handling of the sale of my home, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to everyone.
